Viewers believe Vecna will regret absorbing Max
Whether it be through some sort of telepathic battle or a crazy mental coup involving Vecna's other victims, many "Stranger Things" fans believe that consuming Max in the Season 4 finale will ultimately lead to the Upside Down baddie's demise. In response to a July 2 post from u/StrangerWill (https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/vpsx6o/theory_three_major_plot_points_going_into_season_5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) on the r/StrangerThings subreddit, Redditor u/beastboi27 (https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/vpsx6o/theory_three_major_plot_points_going_into_season_5/iemiyne/) wrote, "Whatever [Eleven] did with Max ... I think it gave Max some leverage to roam around inside Vecna's memories, and it's possible she will encounter the other victims and free them, and they form a group and come up with a plan to destroy Vecna from within."
Others commenting in the same discussion thread agreed, saying we should likely see a situation where Max becomes a key component to bringing down the "Stranger Things" antagonist. "Max living rent-free in Vecna? Sign me up!" said u/NJM1112 (https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/vpsx6o/comment/ien5do6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). "Fighting Vecna on multiple fronts like this season seems like the most likely way to defeat him," added u/bdguy355 (https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/vpsx6o/comment/iemzzit/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
When it comes to Max's future on "Stranger Things," (https://www.looper.com/916668/stranger-things-star-sadie-sink-comments-on-maxs-future-in-season-5/) actor Sadie Sink remained mum on what could happen, although she did express concern to Deadline (https://deadline.com/2022/07/stranger-things-4-does-max-survive-season-5-1235057622/) over where her character ends up at the end of Season 4. At the end of Chapter 9, Max is in a coma, and her future show status is still unclear, according to Sink. But that doesn't mean the Duffer Brothers don't have some top-secret plans up their sleeve for her and stopping Vecna. "I have no idea what's coming in [Season 5] and what that looks like," she told Deadline in a July interview. "Max's storyline is very up in the air, 'cause obviously she's in a coma and Eleven can't find her in the void. So who knows where she is and what state she's in."
